If this country's collective consciousness wasn't fractured into a billion greedy little pieces by nasty attention merchants, this would be the sort of thing that was so flagrantly vile it would demand congressional hearings and wall to wall coverage.

The City Council has been receiving form letters for weeks from anti summit folks. A prominent line, written by Richard Arey, proclaims: “Myth 4: SART will eliminate the danger of bicyclists being “doored.” FALSE! Getting “doored” almost never happens but wide bike lanes make it even less likely.”

In other news, Mitch McConnell is functionally — perhaps literally — dead and the Democratic Governor of Kentucky is unable to appoint a new US Senator because, in 2024, the Republican controlled legislature became only the 5th state in the Union to remove that from the executive's enumerated powers

A regional ICE headquarters being located at Fort Snelling is one of those facts about our present situation through which you can expound most of American history

Grown adults taking off their shirts to sing wonderwall in the rain. Electric! Soccer good!

The weather is, like, a metaphor, man.

Change 3 diapers in 10 minutes while the two kids responsible yell at you constantly and then you also have dishes and laundry to do:

Lebron should sign with Minnesota for a number of basketball related reasons. But the number one reason is this: here, 'neighbor' is a verb.

🦅🇺🇸🐐

It would be kinda funny if he went to Denver and then we bounced their sorry asses from the playoffs in the first round again.

One of the best books I read last year. As critical to the conversation as Matthew Desmond's Evicted. Who wants to babysit for me?!

Sometimes you make something so good you surprise yourself.

Trump discloses 327 unreported stock trades made a day before his first tariff pause www.nbcnews.com/business/mar...

Hell yeah we are

What's your favorite way to budget? YNAB, spreadsheet, Monarch, Mint, vibes? Looking at formalizing our budget practice but need something labor-lite and useful. Not sure where to pivot.

Listened to the Dane pod on LeBron today. There's no better place for the King than Minnesota.

Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.

It’s also the anniversary of the 1st Minnesota’s charge at Gettysburg, suffering the worst casualty rate of any unit in US history

Every time they call you a communist for believing people deserve homes and healthcare, remember this: they are Confederate traitors seeking to destroy the ideals of this country, by force.

Hey, look at that, what had been subtext is once again just text. This is a Redeemer administration.

The USMNT played Belgium earlier this year. So the round of 16 will be an interesting rubber match between the two teams. Google "Belgium rubber" for more info.

Donald Trump has made more than $1 billion (yes, with a B!) from his crypto schemes. And last year, Angie Craig was the only Minnesota Democrat to vote to let Trump get rich selling crypto coins. It's just wrong - and we deserve better.

Oh, hell yeah! Delightful development. First Q&A: does Olivia Miles talk too much trash for a rookie, or is she just the best player on the floor?

Hm yeah well I think we should take it

Anyway, Keith Ellison deserves your support. www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Commu...

The Mayo Clinic saved Bronny's life. I think playing his final seasons here is the least he could do.

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol

“A multi-state investigation found that three of the country’s largest egg producers allegedly worked together for years to artificially increase the price of eggs.”

My wife has some dressers that have been in the family since before the Depression, and for me it's either my dad's Seiko watch, or a pair of old red wings.

Been waiting for this story. ICE deports people to Venezuela three times a week, there are likely many more recent deportees with valid asylum claims in the rubble. Hope that GlobalX crew loses some sleep knowing they flew a planeload of shackled men & women, plus seven children, to their deaths.

BREAKING: More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed.

John Roberts handing down Slaughter and Cook together felt like a weird domination ritual in which he gets to flaunt his power to issue irreconcilable rulings that perfectly track his partisan preferences and we all just to take it because, really, who's gonna stop him? slate.com/news-and-pol...

As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump

I wish more people would share the music they are into. Corporate algorithms suck rotten ass as a vehicle for music discovery.

Had dinner at my favorite restaurant in the state tonight. Had a martini, a popover with a rhubarb vanilla jam, some snap peas with trout roe in a buttermilk dressing, and a sea bass dashi combo that was a brain melter.

Family's going on a road trip so I'm saying things "Welp, that's not goin' anywhere" and making everyone listen to the Caves of Altamira.

I don't know why people gatekeep these sorts of things, but you have my commitment that I never will do that to you, my community: Dates are amazing. Great in smoothies, stews, stuffed with bleu cheese and wrapped in bacon, or just pop one of those tasty little suckers in your face and snack down.

Find this sort of rhetoric abhorrent and repulsive to the ideals we share as a state? Doug Chapin is a great candidate running to unseat this bootlicking racist. Volunteer or donate here: cd6dfl.com/candidate

Spectacular corner kick from the squad there

rent freeze passes, first ever total rent freeze for both one- and two-year rent-stabilized leases

Amazing what a pair of new shoes does to your self-image. Pamper yourselves, dads. Splurge.

SCOTUS rules in favor of Monsanto? Wow. No kidding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amiw...

Seeing some posts saying, for some reason, folks should regret their Naz Reid tattoos. What these people don't understand is that Naz Reid isn't just a man, or a player on your team. He is an idea; and ideas, like tattoos, live forever.
